Building being rehabbed in Maywood (map)

More than $73 million of federal tax dollars were spread across Chicago’s suburbs through the Neighborhood Stabilization Program, an anti-blight initiative aimed at rehabbing distressed homes or building new ones. The most expensive project financed, in part, through the foreclosure relief is a building in Maywood that’s being converted to 24 units at a cost of nearly $7 million in tax money.
